That's not quite true. If you put "Mata Hari Game" in google it's the fourth result. Of course if you put just "Mata Hari" there are tons of results before. I guess you understand why. Also, the trailers and the screenshots kept coming (except for a silent period). And the ultimate problem was that it was released in German first with no signs of English release. That's why it wasn't greatly mentioned.

In Gray Matter the above doesn't apply. No screenshots, no trailers (until a week ago). Give us 10 decent screenshots for the love of God. Not artworks. And the game is going to be released in English.

I don't excuse dtp's marketing for Mata Hari. I guess their intention was the German audience only (or majorly) so their efforts were not greater.
